Hey, Although we ALL know the basics [CPU's of same series is determined hwo good their are depending on clock speed, some CPU's do more "Work" per clock cycle thus need to do less cycles in order to match other, faster clocked CPU's in performance, etc]
However, I Wonder about slightly tougher questions, I'll begin:
1. What does the Mhz mean? I know its the clock speed, but, how fast [in real time] theoretically would be 1 clock cycle that its speed is say 2166MHz[and if possible, what would be the time decrease for a cycle for each 1MHz increase in clock speed]
2. What is "Work per cycle"? In other words, what exactly is it that the CPU does while he's cycling clocks that we consider as "cpu work per cycle"? Obviusly its "processing" stuff, but what? Does it calculate equations?
3. What determines how much "work" per cycle can the CPU do? It's architecture? The Cache size?
4. How does the transistors in a CPU work? Why more is better even if they are running on slightly lower speed [due to increased power consumption and heat exauhstion]?
5 and last [this one's rather simple]. I Just wonder, how does a typicall CPU is built [in its layers, what does the nowdays CPU die has on it]?
Illustrations aswell as text explanation will be great just try to keep it simple and don't link me to messy sites full of text, im no scientist.
